Led Zeppelin opened for Vanilla Fudge and Spirit at The Auditorium Arena (what a catchy name) in Denver, on Dec. 26, 1968. This was the first show of Led Zep's North American Tour 1968-1969, which was also their first ever concert date in the States. Spirit's setlist from that show: "Intro Jam", "I'm Truckin'", "Fresh Garbage", "Poor Richard", "Caught", "Ground Hog", "Policeman's Ball", "Drum Solo", "Mechanical World", "I Got a Line On You", "Aren't You Glad", encore "Nature's Way". Led Zeppelin's setlist: Train Kept A-Rollin' (Tiny Bradshaw cover), I Can't Quit You Baby (Willie Dixon cover), As Long As I Have You (Garnet Mimms cover), Dazed and Confused (Jack Holmes cover), White Summer/Black Mountainside, How Many More Times Play Video

It took us that long to come down from the 4 Way Double Dose blotter acid we dropped in 1968 and realize we were ripped off, maaaaan. Who bogarted my Annie Green Springs?

I like parlor games. Lemme guess.....my mind has gone...............fishing.

Boy, this is the perfect opportunity to sit back, have a Maple Bacon Bear Claw and enjoy "The Three Little Pigs", as retold by Brother Theodore.

Beautiful, Bill! Your work is simply amazing!

I graduated Airborne School in Ft. Benning (11B1P1); that qualifies me for the former. I wanted the 100 bucks jump pay (tax-free btw) because my monthly regular pay was $300 after taxes in 1979. That went pretty fast in Clarksville, Tn. bars. That's what some do on their first jump, in addition to wetting themselves. They always end up blaming that on a busted or open canteen.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Technology allows everyone the delusion that they are cinematic/video geniuses in the same way that someone wearing red double knit pants with blue, leopard pattern brothel creeper shoes thinks he's the next big thing in men's fashion. Which reminds me, I need to renew my Players Club membership.

I have two first issue Chrysler Turbine kits and the chrome is the best I've ever seen. I also have a 1970s issue of the same kit and the chrome is absolute dreck.

Good choice. I never had any problems with that combo.

Especially when some dopes attempt all three, in addition to texting, while doing sixty on the expressway.

Why not? Everybody else does.

Ever notice that people who are adherents to natural health food diets look like they're about to drop dead at any given moment? I made sausage and peppers with gnocchi for dinner, with extra grease.

My friends and I tried that when I was stationed in Germany. I was the unit armorer at the time and I had quart bottles of CA in the arms room, which was used to repair or replace the hard foam pads on Dragon Missile trackers, attaching velcro for MILES equipment onto vehicles, glueing drunk roommates' hands and feet to their bunks, etc. Well, a couple of us were sitting around talking and somebody brought up the Crazy Glue commercial. There was a lot of discussion whether the commercial was rigged or not. One thing led to another and I suggested that we try it. Word got around the company and there were bets made (800 bucks' worth ). We got a mechanic in our motor pool to attach a 5" square steel plate to the top of an M1 helmet and make another one with an eyebolt attached. We looped a length of cable through the eyebolt and clamped it. Then, we made our way to our company's M578 recovery vehicle and hung the looped cable on the boom hook. I applied the CA on the helmet mounted plate (along all four sides and an "X" from corner to corner) and attached it to the one on the hook. The motor pool sergeant, Kevin De Salle, volunteered, for a piece of the action, to be the guinea pig. He secured the chin strap, held on to the steel pot and the boom was raised slowly until Kevin was about 5 feet off the ground. He was suspended for about two minutes and guess what? It worked as advertised!

What's next, getting a junker and towing it around?

Works for me. No swirls and nice, smooth glassy finish.

I use Novus Plastic Clean & Shine to achieve a high gloss. It doesn't affect enamel, acrylic or lacquers.

If you do that, you won't be able to barely hear the guy explaining what he's doing while being drowned out by the annoying backgound music.

Walking up the yavnya this afternoon with Goch Jr., we ran across this here 1950 Dodge Coronet, complete with clear gloss coat covered faux patina: Notice the chrome is rust-free. Check out the door lock: Y'know, anybody who happens to have a handcuff key on his keychain can, well.....you know.

It would've been cool to have kept the fire pole. It beats walking down stairs if you're running late for school or work. More fun, too.

Here are two in my neighborhood that were converted to residences. The first firehouse is the former Engine 38 (old Brooklyn Fire Dept., later E 238 FDNY). It was converted in 1976, a year after the engine company moved to new digs a couple blocks away. It still has the old "B.F.D." logo above the second floor windows. The next two photos are of the former Engine 215 firehouse on my old block. E 215 was disbanded on Sept. 15, 1972. It was sold at city auction for $19,000 in 1975 and the building was converted in 1983. This is a 1600 sq.ft. 2 BR 1 Bath loft apartment on the second floor. It rents for $6300/mo.

I have both the GPM paper model and the Monogram kit; but, I've been on the waiting list seven years for this bad boy: 1/48th USAF BOEING B-52 A - H KITS An honest to goodness 1/48 BUFF, in all its 54" wingspan glory! It should be ready for release very shortly.

Using the patient's own stem cells will solve the problem of organ rejection and the use of immunosuppressive drugs.

Another part of our childhood memories is gone. I met her some years ago and she was a really nice, down-to-earth person. I still watch The Patty Duke Show with my kid. Patty Duke Dead at 69

Or paying a small fortune for a pair of beat up, smelly 30+ year old Nike Air Jordans.
